Tributes are being paid to a former six times Pre-TT classic race winner who has died at the age of 92.

Ted Fenwick passed away on Sunday.

He entered and competed in the first Pre-TT Classic Road Races in 1988 and contnued to race annually on the Billown course up to and including 2016, some 28 years in all.

As a mere 60-year-old in 1988, Ted claimed a creditable 10th place in the 350cc Junior race on his Suzuki machine.

In a tribute, Southern 100 Racing said:" Many of his fellow riders described Ted Fenwick as ‘the gentleman of road racing’, a very fitting tribute to a reserved man, who was always pleasant, friendly and had time to chat to all."
